Procuring
telco success through technology
This is nothing new for T-Mobile . As part of Simpson ’ s focus on ‘ changing procurement for good ’ he is the executive advocate of an annual golf tournament that has raised more than USD $ 3M over eight years for two wireless industry charitable organisations : Warriors4Wireless and the Tower Family Foundation .
It ’ s a cause dear to Simpson ’ s heart : “ This is a very dangerous , complicated business that tower climbing companies are in . We make sure proper training is provided to veterans seeking a career after their military service . And , through the Tower Family Foundation we work to make sure financial support is in place for their families and themselves should an accident occur ,” he added .

But days before the merger was finalized , the pandemic hit and with it , massive global supply chain constraints became reality :
“ My team focuses our employees on three tenets : people , ownership and alignment ”
